INDIANAPOLIS – The Colts All-Pro punter has some more hardware coming his way.

Pat McAfee was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week on Wednesday, following the Colts 35-33 victory over the Titans.

In the Colts first win of 2015, McAfee had five punts averaging 49.8 yards, six touchbacks and showed off his athletic ability with a fourth-down fake punt.

McAfee took off for an 18-yard run on a fourth-and-10 in the third quarter, putting yet another highlight on film of the Colts opportune special teams unit.

Last season, in earning All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors, McAfee won AFC Special Teams Player of the Month in September. He was also named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week following a successful onside kick in Houston last season.

This is the Colts first weekly award of the 2015 season.
